randoseru (Japanese elementary school backpack)

[Craft Idea] Origami School Backpack (April Spring) (School Entrance) (First Grader) (Senior Recreation) (Childcare/Educational) (Wall Decoration) (Table Decoration) (origami) (Creative OT) (DIY)

A warm, springtime piece inspired by the school entrance season: a wall decoration featuring a school satchel (randoseru) that can evoke nostalgia for older adults as well.

Cut origami paper into three equal parts; crease one piece firmly to create the bag section.

For another piece, trim about 1 cm from the edge and round the corners to make the flap.

For the shoulder straps, cut narrow, elongated strips; attach them at the top if displaying on a wall, or at the bottom if using it as a freestanding ornament.

Adding cherry blossom petals enhances the spring atmosphere.

Making the randoseru can also spark conversations about childhood memories and lead to an enjoyable time together.
